La distanza sociale. Una ricerca nelle aree urbane italiane
2008
Da vicino e da lontano. Rappresentazioni dello spazio sociale tra legami e frammentazioni
2007
Come e in che cosa oggi ci si sente diversi dall’Altro? Come avvengono e si costruiscono i processi di differenziazione sociale? E ancora, in quali frames si determinano gli effetti di composizione sociale? La tesi che si sostiene nel saggio è che i fattori di differenziazione strutturale possiedano meno forza del passato di influenzare o alterare le dimensioni sistemiche e relazionali di un gruppo sociale, mentre quelli culturali assumono maggiore rilevanza per la definizione di situazioni che incidono sulla sfera pubblica e sulla vita quotidiana, modificando le forme di partecipazione, appartenenza, esclusione e conflitto sociale. Il saggio ha come tema la rappresentazione delle identità …

Early marriage and cultural constructions of adulthood in two slums in Dar es Salaam.
2018
This study examines under-18 marriage in urban Tanzania from an ethnographic perspective. Due to poverty and high unemployment, some girls aspire to early marriage. Two pathways to early marriage are identified: first, poverty and gendered economic disparities motivate girls to begin transactional sexual activity at an early age, leading parents to favour early marriage as a risk-reduction measure. Second, educational opportunities are often closed off to girls before marriage, as a result of which early marriage becomes the only culturally approved pathway that allows girls to present themselves to others as a self-sufficient agent. These pathways are reinforced by cultural and religious c…
Causes and motives of early marriage in the Gambia and Tanzania : is new legislation enough?
2017
Both The Gambia and Tanzania have high rates of under-18 marriage for girls and both also raised the legal age of marriage for girls to 18 in 2016. This ethnographic study of the urban Muslim poor in Tanzania and The Gambia explores the causes behind and meanings of early marriage in these countries and discusses the likelihood of the recent legislative changes to have effect on actual practice among the poor in the towns and cities of these countries.
Gender and Disability : Challenges of Education Sector Development in Tanzania
2005
In line with the UN Millennium Development Goals, the government of Tanzania has set poverty reduction as the most important challenge for the future. Education is a key sector in the long-term process of poverty reduction. Three of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) focus on gender. The Progress report (UN Secretariat, 2005), however, fairly strongly states that it is unlikely, that any of these three MDGs can be met, if women lack the education, influence and resources to care for their families, and to fully participate in the development process. In this paper, we analyse findings of previous research on gender and disability in the education sector development and explore ways to …

Equity in REDD+: Varying logics in Tanzania
2015
Equity is frequently cited as one of the key design aspects of environmental governance regimes. In the context of Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), a forest-based climate change mitigation instrument, the manner in which ‘equity’ is understood will be of critical importance for the impacts and acceptance of REDD+ policies and initiatives. Whereas the concept has been extensively studied in the academic literature, references to equity in REDD+ policy debates and documents are often vague, leaving room for various interpretations and modes of implementation. In our case study of the Tanzanian national REDD+ policy domain, we provide a conceptual framework …
Transactional Sex, Early Marriage, and Parent-Child Relations in a Tanzanian Slum
2016
Transactional sex has been recognized as a major factor in the persistence of HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet it also has implications for the persistence of poverty. Using interview data collected between 2010 and 2015, this article examines how Muslim families in Dar es Salaam are affected by transactional sexual behavior.1 Examined are motives for transactional sex, how poor families view the purpose of marriage, and religious teachings and cultural beliefs about the onset of adulthood. Familial strategies to ensure provision for daughters and to improve the family’s socio-economic situation are impeded by the fact that in a context of high unemploy ment, transactional sex of ten rep…
